[BOUNTY] NEW IXCOIN LOGO DESIGN - 100 IXC

[newflesh]

Just posting up some ideas for ixcoin's currency symbol, think I prefer the two color version red/black. Could maybe emphasize the 'i' more?

I think it might be better with a thicker character, and a shorter 'i' so the cross is level at the top.  That was how I visualized it.  It might be a good idea to have a couple of different styles to compare.

The color scheme is an interesting issue, red on black emphasizes the 'i-then-X" aspect, a single color has a nice appearance though.

I was thinking the same thing but also maybe slant it to the left a little to see now that looks, maybe a 33 degree slant.

I prefer the red over the black over all one solid color to give it a more clear view that it's actually 2 letters:  iX.


And we need to add an equal sign somewhere.  Not sure where it would look good but even BTC has it and so do all the global currencies.


Edit:  I agree with the thicker character but one of the letters, should also differ in thickness from the other to further accentuate the 2 letter combination.  If that doesn't look good we could use equally tall letters.

Rob, that's an interesting concept but it's a bit complex and the iX doesn't instantly and easily stand out.  I really like the simple clean minimalist look.  And those are the types of logos which really excel right now.

That said, I would be curious to see what your design would look like if it were polished up a bit.  You never know.

Hah, yeah so bad I deleted it before you commented.

To anybody who's artistic you could try to create an hourglass using an X and an I.

lol, I just saw that.  It was better than anything I can draw.  Interesting idea at the very least.

Wow, that's beautiful.

But it's looking like the top choice is not the i or the X alone but rather an i forming the X, so iX combined.

Trying to picture that i and X combined but I am artistically declined.  ; )

Or maybe we need something very simple to memorise

Out of those 3 I like the look and simplicity of the bottom one, the i [that looks like a cross].

If people prefer to use an i over an X or iX then it looks pretty good to me.

[Vlad2Vlad]

Here's one of Cinnamon's designs which I missed.

I cut out the i cause I really like the X.

Try imagining this in a mirror image with the thin side on the left side but shorter and with a dot on a small i.

And maybe remove the sparkle but leave the smooth, clean apple-esque look.

The way I see it in my head it looks great.







Edit:  And maybe add a small slant to it?

So far I like

Cinnamon's Chrome X but would like to see it reversed and with a dotted i, integrating iX into one letter, X.

The i, DeadSea posted (the cross i)

And


The red on black iX but it needs to be changed in size and shape.


In that order.

And people also need to vote on which letter they'd prefer overall:  i, X or the integrated iX.


We need more people to give their opinions.  Remember, this symbol will be the face of iXcoin, GLOBALLY.  It's very important we get it right.


Cheers!

I favor the crossed I symbol as well.

The red on black IX could work, but it needs something.

Dexter's third X is viable.

Dexter's third symbol is the crossed i, I believe.

For the combo iX character idea, how about using two lines, '//', for the bar that crosses the 'i'.  That would make the character an 'i', an 'X', and an '=' combined.

I'm not sure what you mean, I'm not picturing what you're depicting.

Cross over an 'i' with an '=', tilt them 45 degrees, you have an 'X'.

Ok, I see.  But you'd have an X with two lines on one side. 

That would be an interesting way to incorporate the = sign cause I've looked how it looks putting an = sign on an X and it just doesn't look very good or natural regardless of where you put it.

[Vlad2Vlad]

Can I get some opinions on which letter most of you prefer?

Is it the i or the X?

The X has the benefit of allowing us to integrate 2 letters within it, the i and the X combined.



So can I get a quick vote of who prefers the overall look of an X or an i?  


That way we can focus more creative energy on that one particular letter.


Thanks!

The idea would be to make the '=' symbol equal to the 'i' in thickness and length.  Stylize it so the '=' makes you think of a
 single bar as well as an '='.


An example of integrating the '=' is the euro currency symbol which has the '=', replacing the middle bar of the 'E'.
